Abstract

Islamic jurispridence is dynamic in dealing with the development of Islamic society as the field of hukm implementation. It is synergized with the equilibrium between a fixed value (thabat) and a changable value (taghayyur) to meet new issues arising in society. Thus, the process of transformation is the basis of the development of Islamic jurisprudence in sustaining its relevance over time. This elasticity can meet the demands of social and cultural changes that spread over in Islamic society. Basically, in the process of transformation of Islamic jurisprudence, there are several elements that can be taken into account, including time, place, circumstances, motives and traditions. In this regard, this study will discuss the concept of Islamic jurisprudence transformation, the basis of transformation and description of elements in Islamic ruling transformation. In order to achieve these objectives, this study uses the full library approach by referring to relevant literature in classical and contemporary jurist discussions. The qualitative data collected has been deductively analysed to determine a general conclusion on the transformation of Islamic jurisprudence. The findings show that the transformation of Islamic jurisprudence is a flexible approach in dealing with new issues that have had the effect of socio-cultural change and the progress of science and technology achieved by the Muslim community. However, the application does not include a fixed legal aspect (thabat) within the qatie circle.
